 With the latest HTTPS Everywhere (5.0.5).

 To reproduce:

     mkdir /tmp/obstest && \
     firefox \
       --new-instance --profile /tmp/obstest

 Install HTTPS Everywhere, and turn on reporting to the observatory.  Allow
 the browser to restart, and visit https://www.jottit.com/

 Now, we've reported the certificate once to the observatory.  Time to
 close the browser and see if it reports the certificate again:

     firefox --new-instance --profile /tmp/obstest --jsconsole

 Navigate again to https://www.jottit.com/ - see how the console shows
 another certificate report.

 I get this in the console:

     POST XHR
 https://observatory.eff.org/submit_cert#0.080083105198849420.4907663682697673
 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 306ms]
